Marlene contacted me just weeks ago about her Wine Country elopement and I quickly said yes - how could I say no to such sweet love!!
The nuptials took place at the always lovely Sonoma Mission Inn and to add even more romance, the ceremony was held on the balcony of their suite surrounded by 2 of their closest friends, a couple who have been married 33 years.

What I love most about Marlene and Marvin's wedding was the story of how they met. It began on an online dating site, nothing too romantic in the beginning, but as Marlene told me the story, "She fell in love with Marvin before we ever met in person" because of how caring and understanding he was when she was feeling a bit down. Adding in all of their similar situations pointed to true and destined love!
